Inserting/Removing Batteries
Warning
Arrhythmia relearning is initiated whenever the MX40's batteries are
removed for one minute or longer. Be sure to check your patient’s
arrhythmia annotation for accuracy whenever relearn has occurred.

time.
The battery compartment is located on the back of the MX40, accessible by
